Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of dispatcher-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by analyzing the effect of bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and neurological outcomes in patients of cardiac arrest.
Methods
A total of 2,329 the emergency medical services reports were collected for non-traumatic patients of cardiac arrest aged 15 and older, attended by 119 paramedics from Fire Department C from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2021. Additionally, we collected data on the performance of CPR by bystanders and heart avers. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 29.0.
Results
Dispatcher-assisted (DA) CPR was performed in 70.3% of subjects. Compared with no CPR, DA-CPR was 1.567 times (p=.026) higher likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation and 1.889 times (p=.076) higher likelihood of improved neurological outcomes. Compared with no CPR, spontaneous CPR (SP-CPR) resulted in a 2.642 times (p=.000) higher likelihood of return of spontaneous circulation, and a 3.363 times higher likelihood of improved neurological outcomes (p=.002).
Conclusion
The operation of DA-CPR and CPR training opportunities for bystanders should be expanded.
